Hmm, more and more i feel like somalis have lost their culture. Just look at any metropolitian city populated with somalis and you will know what i mean. Visit the streets of toronto or londen, and you will be sure to encounter "gangsta" wannabees that watch too much bet and read too little quran. some somali men have lost it, imitating african americans, and taking the social ills of life in the west and running with it. The Somali Sisters are not too far behind. They have also failed victim to the "Baby Mama" tragedy. Anyone else see what i see? we have turned into a generation in need of "daqaan caliis" Anyways lets hear your take on this, and please no preteens that can not conjugate a sentence, this is a serious topic...
what i dont get. pakistanis for example have resided in the west longer than us, some 5th generation, yet they have their deen and culture intact, same could be said for the arabs, yet somalis, we just got here 5 minutes ago, and look at us. we have the most unique culture out there, yet we want to replace it 50 cent and emulating video hoes ?? but i swear to you there are females that pride themselves in having mixed babies out of wedlock and even compete. "ohh mine is half cambodian" "miyaa mine is half inda yaar" lol....just sad
